Portfolio management · Casablanca

Before the capital,
the process.

Yirviel Somé — MSc Finance candidate at ENCG Casablanca, FMVA® & BIDA® certified. This is a portfolio-management research desk built in public: mandate, allocation, security selection, risk budgeting and attribution, with corporate finance work alongside it — tested on public filings and Casablanca data.

01 · portfolio management

I build systematic, evidence-first portfolios: allocation and risk budgeting, factor research, fixed-income and curve hedging, attribution, and the liquidity constraints that decide whether a strategy is actually investable.

Portfolio-management projects →

02 · corporate finance

I value companies from their filings: linked three-statement models, DCF and LBO, M&A diligence, accounting quality, and the assumptions that decide the answer.

From mandate to attribution

A PM is not paid to have views. A PM is paid to turn a mandate into a repeatable process, then defend every step of it. These are the five decisions I train on — in order.

  1. 01

    Mandate & IPS

    Objective, constraints, horizon, liquidity, and tolerance for loss — written down before a view is formed. The IPS is the contract every later decision is judged against.

    objectives · constraints · risk tolerance

  2. 02

    Strategic allocation

    The policy portfolio sets the beta. Equity, fixed income, cash, and alternatives are sized by horizon, liquidity, and drawdown tolerance. It is the largest driver of long-run outcomes.

    policy portfolio · duration · equity beta

  3. 03

    Security selection

    Bottom-up valuation inside the policy bands: DCF, comparables, screens, and factor exposures. A thesis has to survive the filings before it earns a position — and a margin of safety before it earns size.

    DCF · comps · factors · margin of safety

  4. 04

    Construction & risk

    Covariance, position limits, concentration rules, factor exposures, VaR and CVaR, and stress tests. Risk is sized before the return case: the first question is what breaks the book.

    covariance · VaR / CVaR · stress · sizing

  5. 05

    Attribution & reporting

    Performance against the policy benchmark, Brinson and factor attribution, rebalancing discipline, and written reporting. The record is the product: returns are explained, not merely reported.
